Washington and the corrupt mainstream media are abuzz about who to believe amid an embarrassing confirmation process for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. Accusers of Kavanaugh claiming he was some teen-aged sexual predator and raging drunk are losing credibility — if ever they had any — with each passing day.

While Democrat Senators are obsessed with Kavanaugh’s high school days and his yearbook, not his career, and while the media hangs on every word, what can not be challenged is the runaway success story of Donald’s Trump’s presidency. The well orchestrated smear campaign against Judge Kavanaugh might ultimately drive more Republicans than usual to the November mid-term polls to avenge Democrat tactics. But if voters somehow have managed to shut out the confirmation fiasco, what ought to be driving them to the polls to vote for Republicans and secure the GOP’s continued majorities in the U.S. House and Senate is an avalanche of good news drowned out by a scandal-a-day, deranged press corps.

The Trump Administration reached an agreement with Canada and Mexico on the largest trade deal in history, governing $1.2 trillion in trade.

The results of a newly released Gallup poll indicates that the Republican Party is at a seven-year high in favorability among American voters.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Oct. 2 at a record high (26,773.94), its 14th record close of 2018.

Consumer confidence rose in September to its highest level in about 18 years. The index rose nearly FOUR points since the August poll.

Across America, African American and Hispanic unemployment is at record lows due to Trump-led tax cuts and sweeping de-regulation that stifled business growth during the Obama years. Jobs and opportunities are flowing into communities.

Employment in North Carolina reflects trends nationwide. In our state, August employment reached an all-time high of more than 4.8 million jobs.

The Gross Domestic Product – which signals the health of our economy — grew at a rate of 4.2% last quarter. Average growth was just above 1% quarterly during the Obama era.

The United States is balancing trade deficits with key partners such as China, ending terrible deals with adversarial nations such as Iraq, and promoting peace in the Korean peninsula by promoting open dialog between President Trump and North Korea’s dictatorial regime.

Within minutes of the June jobs report being announced — 213,000 new jobs for the month and 3,700,000 new jobs in the last 17 months — a spokesperson for the Democratic National Committee called this news “reckless”.

I’m reminded of former President Barack Obama’s speech to steel workers in Ohio, when he warned that most of the traditional industrial jobs are not coming back, and then commented that candidate Trump’s promise to reverse this is talk only. He assured them of that. Pretty willfully ignorant of any other possibility. Who talks to voters like this? Losers, typically.

Well, now, the economy in 2018 totally repudiates eight years of Democratic rule in Washington, D.C. Listening later, the petrified media, rather than acknowledging more people have employment, especially minorities, chose to keep listeners angry, promoting a collision course over a Supreme Court opening, or the sudden outrage over confining kids at the southern border, or continuing deportation of illegal immigrants, and the newest cause, eliminating ICE.

On the latter points, not one Democrat or media outlet is talking about border reform, and that more than anything was the issue that got Trump elected President. Technocrats are not accountable to voters, but those in Congress and the Senate are. We will offer our verdicts in the upcoming midterms.
